After thousands of dollars of debt, I was back to where I started. Working for public housing as a maintenance technician. The money was pretty good and for a time I contemplated working until retirement as a maintenance technician. I was thinking about marrying my college girlfriend and saving for a house and car and living like my parents had lived. Why was life so hard for my generation but seemed so easy for their's? They didn't need college degrees and were still able to raise families and buy homes.
When my girlfriend decided to move on to more adventurous pursuits that didn't involve being married to a maintenance man, I freaked. My plans. My life! After some internet surfing, I found myself on a plane with everything I owned in two suitcases on a plane bound for South Korea. What on earth was I doing?
